For a man the FBI insisted had “no clear motive,” the digital footprint is raising new eyebrows.
Tucker Carlson Blows the Case Open
The turning point came when Tucker Carlson released a detailed investigative video tracing Crooks’ old YouTube activity from 2019 through 2020. Carlson uncovered threads of political confusion, violent rhetoric, and — most disturbingly — a growing connection to a foreign user known as “Willy_Tepes.”
Tepes’ online comments were chillingly direct. On August 4, 2020, he told Crooks:
“If a gun and a badge is all that is needed, then authority obviously comes from the barrel of a gun. We have more guns than they do ;)”
“There is no way we can avoid a war at this point, so you just better get used to the idea.”
Carlson revealed that the username appears tied to a Norwegian individual connected to the Nordic Resistance Movement, a neo-Nazi organization that the U.S. government categorizes as a terrorist entity.
Yet the FBI has never publicly addressed this connection.
Evidence of Radicalization the Bureau Brushed Aside
Carlson noted the troubling silence:
“The FBI hasn’t made any mention of him in public, although they certainly know he exists. Just days after the shooting, somebody screenshotted Tepes’ YouTube account page despite the fact that he has very few followers.”
He added:
“To the extent that he can be traced online now, you can find his username being used on a foreign Antifa website, those sites link him to the Nordic Resistance Movement … that’s all we know.”
The exchanges didn’t stop at rhetoric. Tepes also delivered ideological lessons on armed resistance:
“The more guns that are out there, the less likely a gun confiscation will be possible. Nope, guns do not guarantee a victory anymore than jet fighters, tanks and drones do. It is the fighting spirit and brains that wins.”
“We have nothing to lose and everything to win…..and the alternative, a global police state, is unacceptable. Nothing in life is simple but that is no argument against doing it :)”
Shortly after these conversations, Crooks’ activity vanished — and his political direction veered sharply left. Carlson’s team documented Crooks calling Trump’s base a “cult” and insulting the president for “stupidity.”
He also wrote disturbingly specific messages about carrying out attacks, including instructions on how to “sneak a bomb” into federal sites.
Conservatives Demand Answers — Again
Lawmakers are furious. Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett didn’t mince words when speaking with Benny Johnson, suggesting Crooks may have been manipulated:
“They programmed this kid.”
“You got a kid who’s got access to guns or has some simple knowledge of a firearm, he was programmed.”
Burchett went further, arguing the truth is being buried:
“The facts have been buried or burned or whoever knew is either sitting on a beach somewhere and, uh, enjoying a fruity drink or they’re dead.”
He slammed the intelligence community as well:
“When the CIA says, ‘We don’t have this thing,’ and then their asses are brought into a court of law and they say, ‘Well, we have it, but we don’t use it anymore.’ Apparently, somebody’s using it.”
A Narrative Full of Holes
Despite the mounting evidence, the FBI maintains Crooks acted alone, had no accomplices, and left no obvious ideological trail.
But Carlson’s findings show exactly the opposite — a young man immersed in gender-identity subcultures, extremist forums, foreign messaging, political hostility, and detailed discussions about violent tactics.
